Built by Washington.

The mill that Washington built stands
in ravine about half mile east of
Perryopolis, Fayette county. 1t is still
in operation and propelled, as he de-
signed, by stream flowing down a
rugged run called after the founder of
the mill. The latter is, as might be ex-
pected, a rude structure. Originally it
consisted of but one story. and the lines
where Washington left off and the inn
provements, such as they were, begun
are plainly observable. The name of
the present proprietor is Samuel Smith,
who takes pride out of the fact that it
has been kept in the Smith family since
1t passed from the possession of the
illustrious founder. TO the east of this
Is to be seen two of the block houses in
which Washington slaves were housed
the only ones remaining through the
years since their occupancy. Still fur
Their east on the elevation stands the
house of Mr.. Hersey, one of the original
owners of that portion of the grant to
Washington upon which Perryopolis was
was buiit.-Pittsburg Leader.

THE GREAT MYSTERY.

The following Sanscrit literature Is from
one of the hymns of the Rig Veda, written
more than 3, 900 years before Christ:
Nor aught nor naught existed; yon bright shy
Was not nor heaven broad wool oatstretched
above.
What covered alI2 What shelteredr What con-
cpGled:
Was il the waters fathomless abyss!
Then was not death hence, there was nanght
immortal;
Then w3ss no confiue betwixt day and night
The only one breathed GREATNESS in itself;
other than il there nothing since has been.
Darkness then was, but all at first was vailed
In gloom profound-an ocean without light.
The germ that still lay covered in the husk
Burst forth one nature, from the fervent heat
Thcn first came Love upon it, the new spring
OF mind. Yea, poets in their hearts discerned,
rendering, this bond between created things
And uucreated. Comes this spark from earth.
Piercing and all perv aiding, or from heaven,
Then seeds were sown, and mighty power AROSE.
Nature below and Power and VIII above.
Who knows the secret? Who proclaimed IL heres
Whence whence this manifold creation sprang!
The gods themselves came later into being.
Who knows from whence this great creation
sprang?
He from whom all this great creation sprangf
Whether His will created or was mute,
The Most High Seer, that is in highest heaven,
He knows it-or percLance cen He knows not

THE LAST fuaROW.

The spirit of earth, vita glad, restoring hands,
Mid ruin moves. In riiInmering chasm gropes,
And MOSES mantle and the bright flower opes,
But Death the PiowTnan sanders in all lands.
Aud to the last of earth his furrow stands
The grave is never hidden: fearful hopes
Follow the dead upon tine fading slopes,
And there wild memories meet upon the sands.
When willows fling their banners TO the plain.
When rumor OF winds ami sound OF sudden
showers
Disturb the dream of WHITEHALL in vain
The grasses hurry 10 the graves, the flowers
Toss their sid torches their windy towers;
Yet are tho bleak graves lonely in the rain

TIE Most Destructive Weapon

An English journal just at hand points
out the curious fact that the United
States has so far furnished the most de
structive and formidable weapons of mod
ern warfare. The Dahlgren gun was the
forerunner of the Armstrong and krupp
ordnance. Our Monitor revolutionized
the ironclad navies of Europe. Our re-
volving machine guns, which scatter shot
by the thousand, have led the world, as
witness the Calling, Gardner, Hotchkiss,
and Maxim machine guns. Now the fn-
nous Ericsson has invented a dynamite
cruiser, the most formidable kind of 8 de-
structive war vessel known to any navy.
